I currently don't have many knives on hand, since most are in storage. One of the smallest knives I have is the Ontario Quartermaster knife. I was over at a friends place and his girlfriend is a budding knife collector. All her stuff is currently FROST! hehe. Anyway, I asked her to test the tips of her Frost Bowie, Case Bowie as well as testing my Quartermaster. I got the Quartermaster ad plunged it into a hardwood board about 0.5 inch deep and pried out a big chunk of wood. I did this 6 more times with the same results. I then got the case bowie and did the same thing with it, but only 3 times, with no damage to the tip.
I guess 1095 steel properly heat treated has no problem with this kind of use.
